The recent performance of Team India in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final has left fans deeply disappointed. This marks the second consecutive loss for Team India in the WTC final, the first being against New Zealand in 2021 due to their subpar performance.

The disheartened fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, while the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating making changes to the Indian team roster. In this article, we focus on the players who may have played their last WTC final match for Team India.

R Ashwin

R Ashwin, widely regarded as one of the most brilliant spinners in the Indian team and a top-ranked player in Test cricket, is unlikely to feature in another WTC final. At 36 years old, Ashwin is nearing an age when cricketers often retire from Test cricket. If Ashwin chooses to retire, the WTC 2023 final may mark his last appearance in the championship.

Jaidev Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat, considered a talented bowler, might face exclusion from the Indian Test team following the continuous defeats in the World Test Championship 2021 and 2023. With Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the Test team, Unadkat’s chances may diminish. The BCCI may opt to introduce new players in the Indian Test team, potentially making the WTC 2023 final Unadkat’s final appearance in the championship.

Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav finds himself at the bottom of this list. Although Yadav was given an opportunity in the playing XI of the Indian team for the World Test Championship 2023, his performance did not leave a significant impact, resulting in the team’s defeat. Consequently, it is highly likely that the BCCI will not include Yadav in future WTC matches.

The disappointment of fans and the potential changes in the Indian Test team highlight the need for introspection and improvements as Team India aims to excel in future cricketing events.
